Everyday Heroes: Neeves

Meet Michael Neeves

Michael Neeves is the main road tester for Motorcycle News and is ideally placed to tell us all about biking and how to turn your passion into a dream job. We asked him about his story, his tips for racing and a guide to what to buy and how to ride. We secretly want to be him but we settled for a day at Cadwell Park and a chance to hang out with one of the greats of the UK biking scene.

What does it feel to ride the track at Cadwell Park? We got Neevesy to talk us through this classic track and what it really feels like out there.

Neevesy's story is a great inspiration for how with a lot of hard work and just a bit of luck you can turn your passion into the best job ever!

Neevesy talks us through the bike he rode with us at Cadwell and what you should be looking for in a bike when you're just getting going.

Watching Neevesy take corners at 140mph plus made us realise how physical this sport is. We asked him about his physical routine and how you can get in shape before you hit the track.

So you want to be Neevesy? Don't we all! The big man tells us how you start out, what you need, where you get training and how to get going.

Safety and protection are key in this sport. The great man talks us through what he wears to make sure he stays safe out there.
